Patina Shmatina - GEC Stainless

[JTB_5]

Yes, Joshua, from 2014.

That's one pattern in stainless I wouldn't mind getting my hands on someday.

I didn't read the OP's original post close enough and referenced a stainless steel discussion thread. My apologies to the OP - JTB_5 . I've only ever had one GEC stainless knife and gifted that knife to another member of BF.

My picture of that knife. I kinda wish I'd kept it.

No worries! Thanks for posting that Mako!

I haven't seen many of the elk 47s. That's a nice one! The chestnut mustang looks sweet, too. I've never heard of uncle henry knives before.

Some definite shmatina on these backsprings. I can live with that.
Cheers.

I'm sorry, but you need to hide your shmat in this thread, sir. Is it odd for a knife to have non-stainless back springs and a stainless blade?

Some USA Schrade Uncle Henrys with their excellent 440A steel.

That's some great stag on those stainless knives!

The lone white owl, perched on the log pile. That's another one I'd love to see in person once.

Horsecut Bone

GEC needs to do some horsecut jigging again.

SMO? Elaborate please! Did you modify this one?

 

[lavishmammal]

Just a few of the many I own(ed).

 

[Will Power]

Two nice ones, Will . . . VERY nice!

I thank you Jeff! I must admit I'm rather proud of them

Ha ha! I have no skill like that, I got the second blade removed, much more tidy

Nice ones! I've had my eye out for a chestnut 15 clip point ever since Andrew modified my navy knife into a lambsfoot.

Gotcha. Those trappers do look hefty with two blades.

Here are the three Vipers that have been released in SS

And my EDC. A 74 with Elk covers

GEC has used SS on some fixed blades. Here are a couple. H10 in Cocobolo & early 60 in Stag.

This one needs a waiver, for I don't have a photograph of the stainless white owl by itself, which was 1 of only 4 or 5 made:

I'm sorry you never got a lone picture of the white owl. But rest easy, she's enjoying life here with me.

Thanks, Joshua, but the Uncle Henrys all used stag jigged Delrin for their covers, not real stag. They do look great, though!

The only GEC I got in 440C, a #53 in burnt stag.





Works well in wet conditions like fishing.

Looking good!

I have a couple of dog paw 33's that I use, but this safe queen has to be my favorite...

This is my only stainless gec, but it is a good one.
